About This Item
New York: Coward, McCann & Geoghegan, Inc., 1978. Book. Good-. Hard. First American Edition (stated).. If one were to read this book without any knowledge of its origin, it would be easy to categorize it as an exceptional World War II spy novel - complete with secret reports, raids, heroes, villains and scientific experiments. The facts are, however, stranger than fiction. This book is not a work of fiction - it is the true stories of those brave souls working behind the scenes and endangering their lives to defeat a common foe - the war machine known as Germany. Touted as the man "who broke the bloody beam", R.V. Jones not only illustrates his contribution to the war effort on behalf of Britain it also includes the many others sacrificing all. The dj has some yellowing at the folds, microtears, edgewear and a small closed tear [1/4 inch on front]. The dj is not price clipped. It is 556 pages including b/w illustrations and photos. Images available upon request. Dj neatly encased in acid free Brodart book protector. Size: 8 Vo.
